Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children’s Hospital: Discussion
9:30 am
Ms Fiona Ross:
As the Minister said, the job of turning a building into a hospital is very substantial, and the sooner we can get started on that important early work and getting the technical commissioning under way, which Mr. Gunning and Mr. Devine outlined at the previous meeting, the better. The CHI commissioning side needs to start as soon as possible in order to have a speedy opening of the hospital. People will understand how much is involved in turning a building into a hospital, including all the lighting, heating, ventilation, water systems and so on, and the equipment we talked about a moment ago, and I could probably speak to other colleagues about the CHI side of commissioning. It is a big job but we want to get started as soon as we can.
